[ Charles had been lucky. Growing up in England, and then America when the war threatened too much, he hadn't been through what Erik has been through. He hasn't had to fight for his life, for his parents, for his sanity. He grew up with a roof over his head and food in the fridge and Raven by his side.
He obtained a Ph D. at a young age and was what anyone would consider a normal child, except in all the ways he wasn't.
As such, he might be a bit under-qualified to tackle this particular mission. He'd seen all that he could see with the help of Cerebro, but he's not entire sure what to expect when they make their move. And it is for that reason he is glad it is Erik going with him. It might not be the best idea, to take a Holocaust survivor to a place where the similarities would undoubtedly make themselves, but he couldn't (and didn't) try to talk Erik out of it, not when he'd seen the look in his eyes.
The very same look that screamed of the emotions Charles had forcefully shoved aside within himself, because being irrationally emotional was not going to save those kids.
And if their smiles aimed at the lady behind the front desk are overly passionate, it is not due to love.
He gives him a nod and a, ] Thank you, Erik [ when the door is held open for him, stepping through to their one room one bed hotel room. He places his travel bag on the single bed, giving the room a once over, and lets out an breath.
Here they are. He supposes it's time to get to work. ]
